Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington. Seattle, Lowman and
Hanford Co., 1922. p. 79.
LAWRENCE BOGLE is a member of the firm of Bogle, Merritt & Bogle, of Seattle,
and one of the most successful young lawyers in the state. Mr. Bogle is a
native of Mississippi and was born in 1883. His early educational training
was had in the public schools, following which he attended the University of
Virginia, and later, Leland Stanford, Jr., University. It was in 1898 that
Mr. Bogle came to Seattle. In 1909 he became a member of the firm of Bogle,
Merritt & Bogle, of which his distinguished father is senior member, one of
the best known and ablest legal combinations on the Pacific coast. Mr. Bogle
has appeared in many important cases and has met with marked success. With
industry, alertness and determination as dominant factors he has made steady
progress in his chosen profession. His record is such as any man might be
proud to possess, it being a source of inspiration and admiration to his
colleagues and his opponents. Mr Bogle is a man of considerable civic pride.
During his residence in Seattle he has be recognized at all times as a
stalwart and enthusiastic supporter of every movement and project having for
its object the improvement of the city. I know of no member of the bar of
Washington who enjoys a better standing, nor who is more highly regarded by
the bench. Mr. Bogle, in 1009, married Miss Ethel Amann, and the couple have
one child, a girl. He is a member of the Rainier club, Seattle Golf and
Country club, the Highlands club and the Chamber of Commerce. He is also a
member of the county and state bar associations.
